About Used Ford F-150 Parts
The F-150 is America's best-selling vehicle, so its used-parts pool is the deepest of any truck — but the right part depends heavily on which of three modern generations you have. The hard line is 2015, when Ford switched to an aluminum body, and the second line is the engine family, because the PCM and harness have to match the engine you actually own.
Generations & fitment boundaries
The generation and platform decide whether a used part interchanges. Match yours before you request a quote.
- 2009–2014 (12th gen (steel body)) — last steel-body F-150; body panels and bed do not interchange forward to 2015+. The 3.5L EcoBoost and 5.0L Coyote V8 both debuted here in 2011.
- 2015–2020 (13th gen (aluminum body)) — aluminum body and bed — a hard interchange boundary; 2015+ sheet metal will not fit a 2009–2014 truck and vice versa.
- 2021–present (14th gen) — current generation, launched 2021; largely compatible across its own model years.
Engines & transmissions — how to tell them apart
12th gen (2011–2014) offered a 3.7L Duratec V6 (base), the 5.0L Coyote V8, the 6.2L Boss V8, and the first-generation 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6. These pair with the 6R80 six-speed automatic.
13th gen (2015–2020) engines: a naturally-aspirated 3.5L V6 was the 2015–2017 base, replaced by the 3.3L V6 for 2018–2020; the 2.7L EcoBoost and second-generation 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6s; the 5.0L Coyote V8; and, from the 2018 model year, a 3.0L Power Stroke diesel. The 3.3L V6 replaced the non-turbo 3.5L as the base engine for 2018.
Transmissions split at 2017: the 6R80 six-speed carried the earlier trucks, and the 10R80 ten-speed automatic arrived with the 2017 F-150 (first on the second-gen 3.5L EcoBoost) and spread across the lineup by 2018. Match the transmission to both the engine and 2WD-vs-4WD when you order.
Known issues that drive used-part demand
- First-gen 3.5L EcoBoost (2011–2016): timing-chain stretch and cam-phaser wear cause a cold-start rattle; revised on the 2017+ second-gen engine — confirm the timing set was serviced on any early 3.5L.
- Direct-injection EcoBoost engines carbon up on the intake valves over time (first-gen 2010–2014 most notably) because fuel doesn't wash the valves.
- EcoBoost turbos are heat-cycled wear items; have a boost or driveability fault diagnosed before replacing them.
Safety- and emissions-related parts should be diagnosed and installed by a licensed mechanic.
Most-requested used F-150 parts
To match an F-150 engine you need the 8th VIN digit (engine code) read alongside the model-year digit, because the same code letter means different engines in different years. When you swap an engine or PCM, the PCM must be programmed to your VIN and synced to the PATS/SecuriLock immobilizer — usually with two working keys — or the truck won't start. Send us the full VIN and note engine and 2WD/4WD, and we'll match the correct generation and family.

Used Ford F-150 Parts — FAQ
Will a 2015 F-150 engine fit a 2017?
It depends on the exact engine — you have to match the family and generation, not just displacement. The second-gen 3.5L EcoBoost differs from the first-gen, and 2017 brought the 10R80 ten-speed vs the earlier 6R80, so the PCM and harness must match the engine you install. Give us both VINs and we'll confirm.
Why won't a 2014 F-150 bed or door fit a 2016?
Because Ford switched the F-150 to an aluminum body and bed for 2015. The 2009–2014 steel panels and the 2015–2020 aluminum panels are a hard interchange boundary and won't cross.
How do I tell which engine my F-150 has?
Read the 8th digit of the VIN together with the model-year digit — the code letter alone isn't enough because it maps to different engines by year — and confirm against the serial tab on the block. Send us the full VIN and we'll identify it (3.3/3.5 NA V6, 2.7/3.5 EcoBoost, 5.0 Coyote, or 3.0 diesel).
Is the 5.0 V8 in a 2018 F-150 the same engine as a 2016 F-150's?
No. For 2018 Ford gave the 5.0-liter Coyote dual port and direct injection plus a spray-on cylinder bore liner, taking it to 395 hp and 400 lb-ft. The same update replaced the base naturally aspirated 3.5 V6 with an all-new 3.3. So a 2015-2017 5.0 and a 2018-2020 5.0 are different builds with different fuel systems; send both VINs with your quote request.
Can a shop weld a used bed side onto my 2016 F-150 like a steel one?
Not like a steel one. I-CAR reports that Ford's outer box side procedure for the 2015-2020 F-150 calls for self-piercing rivets in specified locations, with blind rivets or plug welds still an option there. The body is aluminum-intensive while the frame under it is high-strength steel, so take a used box side to a shop set up for Ford aluminum work.
Will a Raptor 3.5 EcoBoost fit a regular F-150?
Not as a like-for-like swap. Ford Performance built the 2017 Raptor's 3.5 EcoBoost as a custom high-output version with its own turbochargers, oil-cooled pistons and dual exhausts, rated 450 hp and 510 lb-ft against 375 hp and 470 lb-ft for the standard 3.5 EcoBoost. Treat the Raptor as its own engine pool and match a Raptor to a Raptor, by VIN and model year.
Which F-150 years came with the 3.0L Power Stroke diesel?
2018 through 2021. Ford launched the 3.0-liter Power Stroke in the F-150 for the 2018 model year and dropped it at the end of the 2021 model year, saying customers overwhelmingly ordered its EcoBoost gasoline V6s instead. Its turbo, injection and emissions hardware are diesel-only, so a diesel truck has to be matched to a diesel donor.
